The airport authority is inefficiently run, a private bloated bureaucracy, who waste money and gouge the passengers that they have the monopoly over.

It already was. It's just going to get much worse now.

I'm torn. I hate that the company is run by a homophobic racist jerk, but on the other hand they make a mean chicken sandwich.
I was really hoping they would never come to Calgary, and I'd never be put in such a moral dilemma.

Honestly, I'd shamelessly buy their sandwiches if it was Hitler himself selling them.
No moral dilemma for me eating that goodness.

Next they're going to start charging for luggage carts (one of the other remaining free perks they have over a lot of international airports I've been to).

FWIW, the Airport Authority says they will be expanding the cell phone lot so I guess in theory that should help.

Someone has to pay for that fancy new terminal. Never tried Chick-Fil-A because of the homophobe owner of that chain. Maybe I'll try it just once.

Chik-fil-a is overrated imo. I will forgive abhorrent homophobia for a fine chicken sandwich, but they aren't there yet. At this point, the chicken is only good enough to overlook accidental, unintentional racism.
As for losing the 30 minute parking, I too am fearing the cell lot. What a disaster they'll be.

Speaking of the cell lot, can all you bozos stop idling your cars/trucks when there is absolutely no need for it weather-wise.

They actually make a #### ton of money and spend the majority of it on 'upgrades' just to save on their tax bills. This is why there is constant construction and they purchase statues for 3 million dollars. There is no reason to start charging for 30 min parking. Just greedy.

One thing I'd like if they're doing any work on the cell lot... Free wifi access there and/or one of the flight boards for arrivals please.
No free 30 mins annoys me though. I no longer can go in and scope things out, exit the parking lot and re-enter if there's some odd internal delay. Luggage delays will now be further rage inducing. At least give me a flat rate for up to an hour at a reasonable price (ie: $4) and/or maybe a way to add in an extension if luggage is slow or something.

I have made many-a-trip just to get Chick-Fil-A and loved the 30-minute window. That's done now.
I'm gay, but if I lived in the US, I'd be a gold-card CFA member

There is a little cafe where the cabbies hang out to the right of the ramp going to departures. Just set up there and under cut them.
EDIT: Call it UBERlunch

I didn't know that the owner was a homophobe and racist. I just assumed it was a publicly traded company.
If this guy doesn't care, then that's green light enough for me.
